What games used the 3D the best and worst?
Few video game systems have had as strange a journey as Nintendos 3DS. The spunky portable console flopped, got a massive price cut, gradually built up a spectacular library of games, and received several bizarre (and confusing) hardware models throughout its six years on store shelves. And now, its ditching its biggest selling point. Farewell, 3D.
Last night, Nintendo announced the New 2DS XL, a sleek $150 piece of hardware that is essentially a New 3DS XL without 3D. This is an iteration on 2013's 2DS, a cheaper model that also ditched the 3D but felt uncomfortable and lacked the convenient clamshell design of other models. With the button configurations of the New 3DS XL and the price cut gained by killing the autostereoscopic display, the New 2DS XL is the best of both worlds. Though it wont replace the New 3DS XL on the market, it will be the better and undoubtedly more popular version.
Its also a final goodbye to glasses-free 3D, a feature that was once the 3DSs crown jewel but has long been rendered irrelevant. Weve come a long way from March 2011, where I watched Nintendo of America boss Reggie Fils-Aime lead a small crowd of loyal fans in grabbing 3D glasses and tossing them up in the air during a launch event on the streets of Manhattan. The era of 3D glasses ends right here and right now, Fils-Aime proclaimed.
What he didnt know was that the era of glasses-free 3D was never going to start. It took less than a year before the 3DSs sluggish sales forced Nintendo to slash its price from $250 to $170, a bona fide fire sale, in part because nobody cared enough about 3D to buy it. By mid-2012, Nintendo had removed all mentions of 3D from its marketing materials, choosing wisely to focus on what people actually wantedgood video gamesand bolstering the systems library with great Marios, Zeldas, and much more.
